CONVICT LABOR ON THE PUB
~ Lie ROADS. 80

The readers of this paper know
what it's position has been on this
matter. 1t has %contended earnestly
that our ~convicts should be worked on
our public roads. We want to see
better roads throughout the State. We
believe that our so-called system for
working our public roads is not only
shamefully inefficient, but is grossly
unjust. W. believe that the employ
ment of convict labor on the public
highways is the fairest and most equit-
able disposition that can be made of
it. Every foot of road that is i'm
proved or built by convict labor is just
so much in the interest of the tax
payer and in no other capacity can it
be employed where the results Of this
labor may be SO equally distributed to
the taxpayers of the State. A year
ago we we're confronted with the ar
gument that it was impracticable to
work this labor proftably on public
roads, and on this argument was based
an excuse for giving this labor away
to private and corporate enterprises.
But light is breaking in on this sub
ject through the action of our courts.
In a number of counties, criminals are
being worked on the roads satisfactory
and profitably. 1t is being demon
strated that they can be worked and
worked to profit in this way. We are
looking out for the farmers and tax
payers pockets, and The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER will continue to lift it's voice
against the unjust and outrageous
ann in which they have been
flched and plundered of their rights.
We are unalterably opposed to giavs:ng
this convict labor to any man or men.
1t would be no mole unjust in prin-
ciple to give them the equivalent of
this labor in dollars, from the State
Treasury. Our CONNECTS must be aUorhed
on u public roads.

drained districts insthe United States.
North. Carolina can well afford to
be one ofthe foremost manufacturing
States i n,the Union with all Of these
facilities. g
The day is coming when we may
hope to see North Carolina taking the
lead, and it will soon come, when our
most industrious people see it in the
light which some of us see it. No
town, county or State can gain wealth
to any extent without manufacturing
establishments of some kind.
If you want to see a town or coun-
try increase rapidly in prosperity, you
let some very energetic man put up
manufacturing establishments Of some
kind. and then the wealth of the
whole community will begin to in
crease, and there will soon be a wealthy
country, where, before manufacturing
was begun, it was very deficient in a
p~ecuniary standpoint.
A country in which there is manu-
featuring going on, always has a de-
mand for all of it's produce, and that
is what builds up a country.
Again we say to the business men
of our country, 60 to work and build
up more manufacturing establish
ments. Build them Of all kinds, SO
that we will have in our own State all
the necessary agencies for it's ad-
vancement. Let us no longer depend
on the Northern manufactures for our
supply of manufactured goods, which
we are bound to have. We a manu-
facture them as we'll as the Northern
manufacturers, and just as cheap, if
not cheaper. Then let us turn our
attention to that which will benefit
us most.

ROCKINGHAM FARMERS INSTI-

: / Rockingham county is rich in fertile
soils, good climate, fine timbers, good
water power, valuable minerals, sturdy
manhood and charming womanhood.
They are large a stay-at-home, attend
to-your-own-business sort of people.
Hence, when the rains that had re-
tarded their fall work and threatened
great damage to unharvested crops,
and the limited time allowed for ad-
vertising the Institute are considered,
it was by no means di~scouraging when
only a small number of farmers were
present at the opening of the Institute
on the Sd inst. But the numbers in
creased and the interest grew from
the beginning.
Mr.T. B. Lindsay, the public-spirited
farmer who presides over deep
Spring Farm, one of the finest and
best cultivated in all the Piedmont
region, called the meeting to order
and turned it over to the charge of
DR.. D. Reid Parker, of Randolph. A
minute man, prompt to exactness, and
easy and familiar in handling the
gavel, he quickly had Col Galloway
by his side to greet the Institute with
a graceful word of welcome to Rock

Mr.. w. L. Lindsay talked of "chem-
istry on the farm and showed by
practical and interesting illustration
the processes by which plant-life is
nourished and sustained. Place a
man at the table with different foods,
differently prepared and under certain
conditions death would ensue, while
under other conditions of preparation
the same food would conduce to the
development of healthful growth of
tissue, muscle, bone and blood. He
discussed the available sources of am
monia and predicted that instead Of
paying 20 cents per pound for it,
science would yet enable the farmer
to procure it at nominal cost. Soils

NORTH CAROLINA AS A MANU-
FEATURING STATE.

"Nature has not only given her the
capacity, but has generously provided
her for manufacturing" Why should
North Carolina not be a manufacture
ing State since she is so well endowed
with the power it takes for manufac-
turing? North Carolina abounds in
more different varieties of minerals,
perhaps, than any other State in the
Union, and her water power cannot be
surpassed in an equal area on the Con-
tinent. We have the best climate of
any State in the Union for manufac-
turing. We are free from the frigid
regions of the New England States,
and of the extreme hot climates of the
Southern. Taking all these things in
consideration, North Carolina could
well afford to invest very extensively
in manufacturing since she is so we'll
endowed with the water power, which
could be used gratuitously for that
purpose, and at a much better advan-
tage than it can be in the New Eng
land States.
Nature has beautifully supplied
North Carolina with everything that
is necessary for a prosperous and
wealthy State. She has a mild climate;
mineral resources abound very extern
sively in her borders almost every
variety of fruit and grain are grown
in the State, and she has a noble sup
ply of water power. She has the adj
vantage of her sister New England
States, in that the climate never gets
cold enough for the streams to become
CONCEALED with ice and prevent the
machinery from running, and saves an
enormous outlay in heating apparatus
required to keep them running.
The water power of North Carolina
Is ~lncalculable, and 1t is not confined, as
some suppose, to the mountainous
regions of the State. It is scattered
all over the State. Many of our rivers
have water power enough to run all
the spindles of America. The Yadkin
alone (the largest river in North
Carolina) has water power enough to
run 100000 900 spindles, and yet many
Of them continue their roaring with
the hum of not a single spindle. Some
